Features	9.0 Infinity New Tab (Pro) offers many features that significantly enhance the browsing experience. In particular, the great possibility of customizing the layout and an integrated AI is a function that we no longer want to miss. Tools like the simple to-do list, weather updates, or that you see the number of unread e-mails are handy for every day.	9.2 Recall's range of functions is impressive for a relatively new tool. The AI summary works on a wide range of content, from articles to YouTube videos with a running time of several hours. We particularly liked the personal knowledge base and the way Recall automatically links related content. Spaced Repetition and Active Recall are outstanding features for students. However, some features are still in beta or will be available soon. The functions in the free version are severely limited in the number of users per day, and there is an upper limit for free use.
Performance	7.0 The extension runs smoothly without any noticeable impact on browser performance. There are deductions because links on the website to instruction videos were no longer up to date and due to bugs, among other things, no subscription was possible at the time of the test.	9.0 Retrieval is fast and reliable in most cases. The summary is fast, even with very extreme examples such as a 9-hour news show that we had summarized in our test. Occasionally, we encountered errors or slowdowns, especially when asking further questions about the summarized content via the wizard. The team is actively working on performance improvements and there are regular updates. Overall, the tool feels stable and is suitable for everyday use.
Design	9.0 The design is clean and visually appealing. The high-quality backgrounds and intuitive layout make for a pleasant user experience. However, sometimes you will maybe find the customization options overwhelming initially.	9.0 The user interface has a clear and modern design. The focus is on user-friendliness. We found the browser extension intuitive and easy to navigate. The tagging and organization system can be used flexibly, and some users mentioned minor bugs in the user interface, but these were only minimally noticeable in the test.
Value for Money	8.5 While the free version offers many features, in our opinion the subscription model might not be ideal for everyone. The Pro and Premium versions offer excellent value for those who need advanced features, but the cost might be a barrier for some users.	8.1 The free tariff is suitable for infrequent users who do not need all the functions, as you will quickly reach the map limit. However, if you want to use the extension on a day-to-day basis, you cannot avoid the extension. The paid plan is competitively priced, especially with the student discount. We appreciate that some features will remain free forever, and the team is open to feedback on pricing. Compared to alternatives, Recall offers good value for money for those who need advanced knowledge management features, but casual users may find the limitations too restrictive and stop using the extension.
Ease of Use	8.5 The extension is straightforward to set up and use. The only thing you can get lost in for hours is the individual settings until you have tested every logo, arrangement, etc. before making your final decision for your layout.	8.0 An account is required to use Recall. However, due to the integration with a Google and Apple login, this should be easy for everyone. Saving and summarizing content is a one-click process that is well explained at the beginning. However, mastering all functions (e.g., nested tags, links, and spatial repetitions) requires some time and some searching, which can lead to many users not being able to exploit the full potential.
Security & Privacy	7.5 Infinity New Tab (Pro) is transparent about its data collection practices and offers basic privacy protections. However, it could improve by explicitly addressing user rights and third-party data handling.	9.9 Recall is characterized by its privacy-friendly approach. User data is not used by the extension for advertising, profiling, or AI training. All content is stored securely, and users retain full control over their data. Data can be exported for inspection or deleted at any time. The data protection guidelines are transparent, and support is always available to answer questions about data protection. We were unable to identify any uncertainties during our review.
Conclusion	Infinity New Tab (Pro) is a great tool for anyone looking for a free tool to enhance their browsing experience with customizable features and productivity tools. While it does have some problems, such as occasional data loss to many users after updates, it's a valuable addition to your browser. We particularly liked the AI integration and the extensive customization options. However, the subscription model might not be ideal for everyone. Overall, Infinity New Tab (Pro) is worth considering if you’re looking for a new tab extension that offers many features for free.	Recall impressed us with its useful intelligent use of AI and its focus on helping users in their everyday lives, especially when learning. The browser extension makes it easy to capture content, and the revision features with auto-generated questions are a real bonus for learners. For occasional users, the free version may be enough, but if you want to use the extension, you can't avoid the paid version. The extension is not yet perfect and has small bugs, but the team reacts quickly to these and feedback, and many new functions are currently being introduced. Overall, Recall is a good choice for anyone looking to do more than just bookmark cards and build a personal knowledge base. If you're tired of forgetting what you've read online and want to save time, it's a must!
